A dummy subnet? Hmmm... where does that fit in?
Say my Windows box has a LAN-side ip of 192.168.158.1, and a dynamically
assigned Internet-side ip.
The Linux box is 1.2.3.4 on the Internet side (port 23456/udp), and
192.168.0.1 on the LAN side.
These routes are added by CIPE on the Linux-side:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.158.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
cipcb1
192.168.158.0 192.168.158.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0
cipcb1
Do I need to add routes on the Windows side?
TIA,
Frank

I have a WIndows CIPE machine talking to a Linux one. They will
interoperate, as long as you use a dummy subnet for the tunneled link
itself. I see no reason why your arrangement won't work. However, each
"client" will need to talk to a different server port, and you'll need a
separate CIPE interface for each connection.
Only problems I've have had have been related to bugs in Windows 2000
and/or
the Windows CIPE implementation.
